Thank you, Ilsa, and the best to you, too! :-)I looked at the sky from the bottom landing of an open stairwell in a centuries old building (for safety reasons, living space inside the city walls was much coveted, and running the stairs outside buildings created more living space inside and at the same time, more light and air reached the narrow streets and courtyards).

Wiliam, this is part of a very old building complex, parts of which go back as far as the beginning of the 14th centuries, the more recent ones to the mid 17th century. Located only steps from St. Stephen's cathedral, in the heart of Vienna.
